Yasuhiro
Urushitani is one of the most respected mixed martial artists
in the Flyweight division. He has fought all over the world and is
a former Shooto Bantamweight Champion who is renowned for his
accurate counter strikes and slick submissions. Since his debut in
2001, he has racked up a record of 20 wins, six losses, and six
draws. He earned his ONE FC title shot by defeating Filipino
standout Rey
Docyogen in Manila on 31 May. He is set to face another former
Shooto Bantamweight Champion in Shinichi
Kojima to determine the king of the Asian Flyweight
division.

Urushitani and Kojima have already fought each other twice, with
both fights ending in a draw. This rubber match will crown a new
world champion and determine the winner of their trilogy. Kojima is
one of the best Flyweights in the world. He had a three-year
undefeated streak while he was Shooto Bantamweight Champion and has
been ranked as the best in the world in his weight class. He
submitted Rey
Docyogen in Kuala Lumpur on 2 February and has been eagerly
awaiting his shot at the coveted ONE FC World Championship
title.

Vincent
Majid is a national Judo champion, a four-time submission
grappling champion and is ranked top 10 in his weight class at
combat sambo. Known as “Jack Hammer” because of the power with
which he hits, Majid is tipped to score some spectacular stoppages
in the ONE FC cage and this Indonesian giant will be looking to get
his professional career off to the best possible start on 13
September to prove that he is a serious contender for the first
ever ONE FC Light Heavyweight World Championship title.

Eugenio Tan was born and raised in Malaysia but is of mixed
parentage with his father hailing from the mountains of Baguio in
the Philippines. He has a strong base in boxing and has also
developed his skills in Muay Thai. He has never been stopped or
submitted and with three fights under his belt already, he is
gaining a reputation as one of the best light heavyweights in
Malaysia.

Stefer
Rahardian is a BJJ phenomenon who has won numerous medals at
submission grappling competitions and is already a familiar face on
the podium having frequently claimed gold medals in grappling
tournaments competing at well above his natural weight. He trains
under Indonesia’s legendary grappling coach Niko Han, Indonesia’s
first ever BJJ black belt at the vaunted Synergy gym in
Jakarta.

Raymond
Tan is a founding member of Penang Top Team and ranked as one
of the best Bantamweights in Malaysia. He initially began training
in Taekwondo before he moved into mixed martial arts as he grew
older. He will be looking to use his long reach to devastating
effect with crisp striking and signature kicks when he faces
Stefer
Rahardian on 13 September in Jakarta.
